Clifford Jailed For Eight Years For Sex Crimes

Shamed publicist Max Clifford has been sentenced to eight years in prison for a string of sexual offences.

The 71-year-old, who was found guilty last month of eight counts of indecent assault against four women aged between 15 and 19, will have to serve at least half his sentence.

He was told by Judge Anthony Leonard: "The reason why (your crimes) were not brought to light sooner was because of your own dominant character and your position in the world of entertainment.

"Your victims thought you were untouchable, something I think you too believed."

The judge also condemned Clifford's "contemptuous attitude" and some of the assaults would be considered rape under current legislation.

He had to use guidelines in force when the offences were committed in the 1970s and 1980s.

Clifford refused to apologise to his victims when he arrived at Southwark Crown Court, defiantly telling Sky's Tom Parmenter: "I stand by everything I've said in the past."

Asked whether that included his description of the women as "liars" and "fantasists", the PR guru refused to answer and strolled away.

Speaking outside his Surrey home earlier, Clifford admitted: "It's not the best day of my life, is it?"

He added: "I just have to face up to it."

Clifford used to represent some of the UK's top celebrities, including music mogul Simon Cowell and Dragon's Den star Theo Paphitis.

Both men have severed ties with his company, Max Clifford Associates, which was expected to be shut down after the judge passed sentence.
